Forget sneaky jalapeño slices or rogue pearl onions, London bars are going full farmers’ market.
Celery, beetroot, lettuce, even mushrooms are getting shaken and stirred. TBH - way more fun than eating a salad.
Squash
At Sprout, the intimate bar set inside Templeton Garden, butternut squash gets the glow-up no one saw coming: roasted, stirred Old Fashioned–style, then spiked with tamarind heat and peaty Bruichladdich whisky. Suddenly squash feels right at home behind the bar.
Rhubarb
Meanwhile, Lyaness, the gorgeous, first-ever 3 Pins Award bar set inside Sea Containers London, comes in hot with a neon Vantapink Gimlet: a wild mash of spicy rhubarb, Botanist gin, a “spite cordial” and fermented nettles.
Celery
A martini never goes out of style. At Bar Antoine, nestled within the Four Seasons Hotel London, celery gets its star turn in the Beluga Gold Martini: vodka meets icy celeriac with a sharp shot of celery extract. the Celeriac Martini, tried and tested ready for bank-holiday weekend at the bar 💫
Mushrooms
And because mushrooms deserve their moment, Artesian is pouring an umami bomb with the Cep Mushroom Cocktail: Roku Gin, thyme-soaked vermouth, bitters, sherry and a cheeky hit of Stilton blue cheese.
Leeks + Wild Garlic
Under Niju, Nipperkin’s martini remix is giving garden party chic: Grilled Leeks and Truffles—a house-made leek spirit, Cambridge truffle gin and a zingy pickled onion vermouth while their Ramson Martini features a blend of gin, truffles and foraged wild garlic finished with a touch of three cornered leek oil.
London’s bar scene is officially in its veggie era. Cheers to your five-a-day.
